Substance Abuse

  • Anyone can suffer from addictive disorders. Substance abuse and addictive problems affect individuals of every race, age, sex, ethnic origin, social class, income level, educational or occupational level. Addictive disorders and substance abuse are major health and psycho-social problems in today's society. Alcohol and substance abuse disorders bring people into the health care system by causing or contributing to a variety of major health care problems. Some of these problems include pancreatitis, cirrhosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, psychiatric illness, trauma and fetal damage.
  • According to statistics from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, between 13 million and 16 million people need treatment for alcoholism and or drug abuse annually, but only 3 million receive care.
  • A.C.E.S. substance abuse program is based on the patient placement criteria of the American Society of Addictive Medicine. This criterion is designed to evaluate and place the client in the most appropriate and effective level of treatment for that individual.
  • Our treatment modality is primarily based on the Motivational Enhancement Therapy model, with a focus on abstinent behavior. Random urinalysis is included. We also offer an ongoing aftercare program for those clients who need extra support at a severely discounted price.
  • Individual and group activities guide clients in understanding how they can avoid having future alcohol/drug problems by committing to their phase adjusted guidelines, and work to motivate participants to seek help through AA/NA, and/or other support services, and/or alcohol/drug treatment.
